SNN – Vestas announced it has secured a firm order to supply wind turbines for a major offshore wind project in the United Kingdom being developed by RWE.
The order is for the Vanguard East offshore wind project, which will have a planned capacity of 1.38 gigawatts (GW) and is located off the coast of Norfolk in East Anglia. The project forms part of Britain’s efforts to expand renewable energy and meet its 2030 clean power targets.
Under the agreement, Vestas will supply 92 V236-15.0 megawatt wind turbines. The company will also be responsible for the delivery, installation, and commissioning of the turbines once the project moves forward.
After installation is completed, Vestas will service the turbines through a five-year comprehensive service agreement, followed by a longer-term operational support arrangement to maintain the wind farm’s performance.
RWE expects to make a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Vanguard East project in summer 2026. If approved, turbine deliveries are scheduled to begin in late 2028, with the project expected to become fully operational by 2030.
The development is seen as part of Europe’s broader shift toward renewable energy, as countries accelerate investments in offshore wind power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and strengthen energy security.
